摘      要：Hamtah and Chhota Shigri are two nearby,well monitored glaciers of western Himalaya,lying in the same climatic zone and driven by the same climatic *** this study,topographical characteristics of both the glacier have been explored to understand the role of topography in controlling the glacier ***,their topographical characteristics and possible response towards climatic variations have been compared with each other and also with that of the other glaciers in the basin to find out the suitability of these two glaciers to be considered as representative of the *** sensor and multi temporal remote sensing data have been used to carry out to fulfill the *** is found that being in the same climatic zone,the mean accumulation area ratio of Chhota Shigri is 54%and Hamtah is 11%between 1980 and *** comparison to Hamtah,Chhota Shigri glacier has a small upslope area,low compactness ratio indicating the ability of the glacier to receive direct precipitation and solar *** analysis revealed that the Chhota Shigri glacier has a closer resemblance with the other glaciers in the region than Hamtah ***,the topographical settings of Chhota Shigri glacier are suitable for recording and reflecting year-to-year climatic variations.
